 * [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]
+* [[Dirty Coward]]: While he can fight, if there's a fight looming he prefers to flee or put others between himself and danger where possible.
-* [[Dirty Coward]]
-* [[Driven to Suicide]]: In his final scene, Nom stays behind on an exploding warship rather than escape with the heroes- his rationale being that there's no longer any place in the world for him. We don't see him die, but it's heavily implied he goes down with the ship.
+* [[Driven to Suicide]]: In his final scene, Nom stays behind on an exploding warship rather than escape with the heroes, for reasons detailed under [[Hoist by His Own Petard]] below.  We don't see him die, but it's heavily implied he goes down with the ship which exploded shortly after the heroes evacuated.
-** [[Never Found the Body]]: Some fans don't buy it because there was no corpse.
+** [[Never Found the Body]]: Some fans don't believe he died because a corpse wasn't found.
+* [[Enemy Mine]]: He winds up siding with the heroes at a few points, but for his own selfish purposes.
-* [[Evilly Affable]]: Nom is a total bastard with few redeeming features, but his scheming plots and increasing status as the [[Only Sane Man]] among the Vong make him a very entertaining character.
+* [[Evilly Affable]]: While Nom is a total bastard with few redeeming features, his scheming plots and increasing status as the [[Only Sane Man]] among the Vong make him a very entertaining character.
-* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Kind of… he winds up siding with the heroes, but for his own selfish purposes.
+* [[Hiding Behind Religion]]: While Nom Anor was living among the Shamed Ones, Nom tried to co-opt their beliefs in his guise as a being called the Prophet.  However, Nom didn't actually believe in the religion or its gods was only looking to gain power and influence.
+* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: In a roundabout way.  By the end of the last book, Nom Anor's scheming and chronic backstabbing have made him enemies among every group - to the point that he tried to kill the protagonists ''twice'' after they'd just killed the Supreme Overlord and defeated the Yuuzhan Vong in war.  Nom's personal views also mean there's something he hates about every group as well.  So in the end, Nom burned all his bridges and wasn't willing to put aside his prejudices, so he chose to die rather than answer for his crimes or serve anyone else.
 * [[I Have Many Names]]: Uses ''a ton'' of aliases and pseudonyms.
+* [[It's All About Me]]: While he will pander to those with power over him, he will abandon them if he can benefit and get away with it at the drop of a hat.  Ultimately, Nom Anor's only allegiance is to Nom Anor.
 * [[Manipulative Bastard]]
-* [[Only Sane Man]]: How he often feels among his own people.
+* [[Only Sane Man]]: How he often feels among his own people, which is even true some of the time.
 * [[Smug Snake]]
 * [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Experiences this twice in ''Traitor''; the first when Jacen massacres most of the durhayam, and the second when Ganner does his badass final stand.
